We’re counting down to the final two legs of the Event Rider Masters series! By utilizing top notch promotion on social media, inviting the best riders in the world to compete, and take advantage of popular venues like Blenheim, Bramham and Barbury Castle, the series has attracted an incredible swath of viewers around the globe.

With the globally free streaming, condensed format (dressage on Saturday and show jumping/cross country on Sunday, limited to 40 riders) and kiss and cry podium banter, Event Rider Masters has brought eventing to a whole new audience.

It also provided a vital education leading up to Rio. If you were lucky enough to catch the first leg at Chatsworth when the French riders swept the podium, you probably weren’t as surprised as the rest of the world when they claimed Olympic team gold earlier this month.

The final two legs of the series are coming up, and the ERM has released the list of riders for both events.
